BIG ATTRACTION COMING TOI
TEXTILE HALL.
The management of Textile Hall
t t desires to adlress the people of the
Piedmont section through the col
umns of the newspapers and requests
that this statement be carefully read
by everyone.
Textile hall is an expensive build
ing to maintain. It represents a
large investment value to begin with,
and the cost of keeping it in proper
condition, paying taxes, insurance
and all of the other outlays ifici
dent to a public building total a
large sum.
We must have the support of the
citizens of Greenville and the sur
rounding counties. We do not mean
to call on anyone for subscriptions
or donations, but if this magnificent
building is to be preserved and main
tained as a center for the various
]rg activities of the upper Caro
lina the people must come to the en
tertainments which ar3 provided
therein.
It should be noted that occasion
ally the hall is rented to indic iduals
or groups for entertainment other
than professional. These are usually
or some charity and the cause is al
ways a w..rthv one. These, however,
should not be confused wits. lhe at
tractions otYcred by us which are in
every case carefully selected and
thoroughly advertised.
We will soon put onI a hxing
exhibition. It will be different from
anything ever seen here, in that
there will be scientific contes:s be
tween train ?d boxers and nothing of
the free-for-all, rough-and-tumbke
character about it. We have such
an exhibition now under considera
tion, and if it is supported we will
in time bring some of the best known
pugilists to Greenville. Thse box
ing exhibitions will be given strict.
ly under th1e direction of the Athletic
Commission recently appointed by
City Council.
We also have arranged to bring t<
Textile Hall this winter the two mos
remarkable d: ers in the world, Ted
Shawn. who comes with his own pian
ist. and assistants on October 27tl
and Madam Anna Pavlowa who come,
with her Russian Ballet after the
New Year with a company of ser
enty-five.
Ted Shawn is the founder witi
Miss 'Ruth St. Denis of the celebrat
ed dancing institution known a
"Denishawn" in California. To sad
he is the foremost man dancer in the
world may be to challenge critician
because there are a few who may be
out equals, but certainly he is with
out a "superior, and he draws thous
ands of people at every appearance
Mr. Shawn will demonstrate th<
modern art of dancing in a way thai
will be entirely newv to thq majority.
of our people.
Madam Paylowa is the moderri

leader of the ballet. She has .
symphony orchestra of about twenty
tive musicians who play the selected'
music which is used as her accom
paniment, and she has a large group
of beautiful girls and accomplished
young men who take part in the dra
matic part of the entertainment.
Both of these dancing features are
wonderfully beautiful. They are it
lusionizing. There is nothing to be
compared with them. You could see
no better in any of the capitols of
Europe.
In music Textile Hall this winter
offers kubelik, one of the greatest
violinists in the world ranking with
Ysaye, Kreisler, Zimbalist, Ilman and
others. For singers we have booked
Riccardo Martin for November 2nd.
Miss Anna Case, one of the most
beautiful women on the concert stage
today comes about March 1st. It is
rarely we have the opportunity to
obtain a Metropolitan star and
Greenville is to be congratulated on
this effort. We have also been most
fortunate in securing another fam
ous leader of the Metropolitan stage,
Miss Marie Rappold, who a few years
go was considered by Cazza, the
manager of the Metropolitan Opera
'louse, as the most accomplished
dramatic soprano in the world. Her
name is known to every music lover
n the country.
Another New York attraction is
the great harpist, Salvi, the only liv
ing musician who has turned away
people from the. coliseums of the
North and West. He is the possessor
of the most beautiful harp in the
world, being % a golden instrument
which it required four years to build.
It is the largest harp in existence
and his playing it is said by the New
York press to be the most marvelous
thing ever heard.
There will be no series of concerts
in Textile Hall this winter. Each
concert will stand on' its own merits,
and the box office will be open one
week in advance or more to each
attraction. Textile Hall is now offer
ing these splendid entertainments to
the people of Greenville for the sea
son of 1921-1922. If, when the re
serve seat sale is open, patrons buy
one or more seats, it means that we
shall be encouraged to bring other
attractions later on in the season. If
you do not use the seats you take,
give them to some friend or rela
- tive who will appreciate the courtesy
highly, and you will have given us
r substantial assistance. Be generous
in your support. If you can afford
it, buy tickets whether you are cer
tain you can use them or not, and
urge everyone you Ae to fall in line.
We welcome criticism, and will ap
preciate letters or suggestions that
will help us make Textlie Hall popu
lar. We have tried this season to
Ioutstrip all others in point of variety
of entertainment as well as quality.

ULE.
Will Open Season With U. S. Mili
tary Academy at West Point.
The schedule of the Clemson Col.
lege football team has been announe
ed and in keeping with Coach Stew
art's policies some big teams are to
be played. Of ispecial interest to
Clemson alumni will be the opening
game of the season, that with Centre
College, at Danville, Ky., October 1.
A game with Carnegie Tech at Pitts-'
burg is pending. This game is on the
schedule two days after the Citadel
game at Orangeburg, so there is
some -doubt as to whether it will be
played this year. Stewart, however,
may arrange the dates.
Next year Clemson will open its
season with the United States Mili-I
tary Academy at West Point. That
is in 1922. Coach Stewart's policy
is to schedule two or three big inter
sectional games each year. His re
cor'd gives him prestige and with it
the team acquires prestige. With
the exception of Centre and Car
negie Tech the other teams will be
among thos: played last yeai'. The
1921 schedule follows:
October 1, Centre College at Dan
ille, Kentucky.
October 7, Presbyterian College,
campus.
October 14, Auburn at Auburn,
Alabama.
October 21, Furman at Greenville.
October' 27, Carolina at Columbia.
November 5, Georgia Tech at At

November 9 or 10, Citadel at
Orangeburg.
November 12, Carngie Tech

A CAMPAIGN FOR GOOD ROADS.
Organization.Will Take Advantage of
Every Known Publicity Method.
Columbia, Aug. 1.--An intensive
publicity campaign for good roads is
3eing planned by the South Carolina
Jood Roads Association for~ the near
~uture. The organization wvill take
Idlvantage of every method known to
stress upon the people of the state
he necessity of permanent highwvays
>eing built by the state, it wvas said
Lt a meetingSaturday last.
The newvspapers, the bill-boards,
he moving pictures and other agen
~ies will be used in the campaign.
lready posters are being printed
mphasizing the fact that "bad roads
~ost more than good roads."
"Bad roads mean loss and isola
~ion; good roads mean prosperity and
sommunication," reads one of the
slogans being gotten out. by the fs
sociation. Another circular calls at
ention to the fact that, wvhile other
states of the union are spending
mormous sums on state highwvays,
South Carolina is spending practic
ally nothing by comparison.
"We a\.e delighted with the re
iponses that our appeals are meet
ng with," said President L. D. Jen
mings. "The people of the state are
sending in their membership fees
right along. A big membership in
ur organization means a strong or..
~anization, and every county in the
state should have a large number of I
ictive members. We want as mem
ers people who are really interested
n goodl roads and who will get out
rnd work when we call upon them."
President Jennings Announced to
lay that B. H. Peace, president and
iditor of the Greenville News, had
recepted .the position of chairman for
3reenville county and will' at once
mndertake the Work of organizing
*hat county. Mr. Peace is a good
oads enthusiast and has .glven the
issociation strotng supporb through
he columins of his paper.
"We are very greatly indebted to
~he press of the state for the splen
lid support which it is giving us,"
sad Mr..Jennings. "We feel sure we
vould have 'the support of the news
papers, since they always stand for
pr'ogressive measures. Without their
aiid wo could accomplish nothing In
this campaign."
